Hopeless Horror
Rudyy went for a stroll in the garden before bed. The setting sun cast its last rays on the treetops, painting them with a shimmering crimson hue. One of the rays itself jumped onto Rudyy's shoulder. After dancing for a moment, the beam of light slid down and ran along the ground, following the sun…
Loreley sat under a bush, trying not to move. He had left the house again, but, in the end, he is almost a full-grown cat and can do things on his own. He needs to sleep at night, and he was trying to convey this simple idea to his nightmares. However, when one of these nightmares is a giant the size of a Fairy Castle, who noticed him first and almost used him as a collar for his leader… Brrr… All that's left is to be glad that he managed to get away in time.
Suddenly,
Loreley's keen ears picked up a familiar sound – only his father could purr like that. The kitten crouched down, and when the purring stopped, he silently crept towards the source of the sound. In the darkness, he could see as well as in the daytime, and he easily noticed that the older generation was not idle –
Morning,
Arandor, and
WishmasteR were sound asleep under a tree. The little creature circled them, twitching his whiskers and sniffing, then carefully nudged his nose against
WishmasteR's warm and fluffy side. He just turned over and chuckled in his sleep – apparently, he was dreaming of another prank.
Loreley stepped back from the glowing ball, preparing to leave, but then the sleeping creature twitched unnaturally and began to crawl across the ground, as if being pulled. Curiosity took over, and soon
Loreley saw that
WishmasteR was being dragged by a thick strand of spiderweb. The kitten was genuinely frightened for his friend and partner in pranks, and he grabbed the thread with his paws, but only got tangled up. His fur stood on end when a quiet laugh and the rustling of chitinous legs sounded behind him. Resistance was useless; soon the spider disappeared, leaving behind two dense cocoons. Only a nightingale with a couple of its companions witnessed the drama.
Arandor continued to sleep. Of course, it wasn't as cozy and dark as under a bed, but that didn't matter. He was having wonderful dreams – how he finally climbed into the light and plays with children, and they are not at all afraid of him and invite him to join them.
Suddenly, the space of the dream was as if cut by sharp claws, and scarlet blood gushed out.
Arandor groaned and twitched, but could not open his eyes. It's hard to say whether he was lucky, because it is unknown what is worse – to see an endless nightmare, trying to wake up, or to watch as your body is torn apart by a creature even worse than the one in the nightmare…
– Let's drink a song of howling, a whirlwind in a glass of water… And so on, – the creature cynically recited, taking a large gulp of blood seeping from the wound on the victim's neck…
In the morning, the few survivors noticed that
Ment was missing. His body was not found, but when they broke into his house, they found him sleeping. Although, judging by everything, he was dreaming something unpleasant, but it was not possible to wake up
Ment – perhaps because of the unpleasant, heavy smell of dark magic that permeated his house.
The fairy was reading a letter alone…
Thank you to my fairy godmother from the land of fairies for allowing her child to write a note and cheer up the few dreams that survived the recent events.
Hang in there, gentlemen! Everyone hang in there! Times are tough, very tough! My spider-sense is screaming non-stop! That nasty aunt, a parody of Madame Web, wants to catch us all in her webs! I will do everything possible to prevent her from doing this! Remember, it is darkest before dawn! I hope that our maniacs, the Cat and the Horror, especially the first, have already realized what is what and have sided with the city, at least temporarily, so they will be our additional argument. Well... the current newspaper will show whether this is the case or not! Hang in there, gentlemen, hang in there!
